I tend to agree with the VB people, non-standard can also be very non-intutive and I've not enjoyed having to create my own controls (wastes my time and it's a pain) or having learn to use other people's custom controls (that also are sometimes missing standard features). When I use B+ I still use GUIDE to avoid this issue and am still frustated at the limited functionality that it provides vs VB .NET (this is NOT a bash at GUIDE's author, it's a good product but the task is vast).
Using the standard toolset for applications IMHO is the only sensible way to go unless you are doing something extremely non-standard to start with. For games it's a different story of course, I always would advocate keeping it as simple and uncomplicated as possible.
